It usually disappear quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a result of a particular situation – for example, a family problem, or the death of a loved one. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually doe not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Chronic (长期的) loneliness lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problemssocializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there’s little they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease.

It may be a free period or a regular wait, say in the queue for a bus or meal --- even while eating breakfast. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each night. Whether he went to bed at 10 pm or 2:30 am made no difference. Even if you cannot keep to this kind of discipline, it is a good idea to make sure you always have a general interest book in your pocket. Don’t forget it should be a book which entertains you and the English must not be too difficult for you.Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element --- some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. Y ou can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are busy reading. Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest book. Y ou should soon notice your habitual w.p.m. rate creeping up.6. The passage recommends setting aside C for reading practice.A. two hours a dayB. one hour a dayC. 15 minutes or half an hour a dayD. three minutes a day before meal7. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to read B .A. 15 minutes at 10 pm each nightB. for at least 15 minutes at bedtimeC. no matter it was early or lateD. whenever he had a spare moment8. It is a good idea always to carry in your packet D .A. a book you will never forgetB. a serious bookC. several books of various kindsD. an easy and interesting English book9. According to the passage, a “pacing” device A.A. measures a student’s reading speedB. is not included in most speed reading coursesC. is an aid to vocabulary learningD. should be used whenever we read alone10. Looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes A.A. avoids the need for reading fasterB. is not the same as pacingC. is not easy at firstD. helps you to remember the page number you were at last timePassage2Old Japanese living alone can now hire a “family” for lunch and a few hours’ pleasant talk. Just give them a telephone call and ask for, say, a daughter, son-in-law and grandchild. They will show up at your door, and greet you emotionally as if they hadn’t seen you for years.Some 15 couples have so far hired “families”. “We have nearly 80 people on the waiting list.” Said the president of the company that offers such services, “What is common about these senior citizens is that they are thirsty for human love. We are helping them make their dreams come true.”Where once big families with three or more generations living together were common, now numbers are reducing fast. In cities there are very few indeed. Many old people see their families only rarely, if at all. This may be because the children’s bosses have sent them to a distant city, even abroad, or just because busy family members cannot find time to visit their parents.“We’ve seen many cases in which parent-children relations are not in a happy state,” company president continues. “When a son finally visits his parents after a long while, it is often just to ask for money or for them to let him have their property(财产)early.”Loneliness is not a one-way street. “One young mother came to us to ask about grandparents,” he added.The company is now developing into other fields. Their services include providing “employees” for businessmen to scold and “lovers” for young people unlucky in love. Company’s“lovers” for hire is not a service to be misunderstood, company president makes clear.“Y ou shouldn’t think about our lover too romantically,” he said, “She’s there to act as an adviser on how to find a girlfriend.”11. Old couples in Japan hire family members C .A. to ask for help when they are illB. to realize their big-family dreamsC. to seek love and comfortD. to strengthen parent-children relations12. In the sentence “what is common about t hese senior citizens is that they are thirsty for human love”, “senior citizens” could best be replaced by D .A. high-ranking officials in citiesB. rich old couples living in citiesC. respectable ladies and gentlemenD. old people13. Which of the following is not the reason that Japanese grown-ups seldom visit their parents? CA. They are too busy.B. They work in distant cities.C. They can’t afford expensive visits to their parents.D. Their relations are not very tight.14. “Lonelin ess is not a one-way street” means that A.A. both the old and the young will feel lonelyB. living alone is not a one-way streetC. young mother with a little child will feel lonelyD. one young mother will hire “grandparents” for thei r child15. When a Japanese young man hires a “lover”, B .A. she will be his loverB. she will offer him valuable advice on love affairsC. she will bring him a girlfriendD. she will tell him her own love story第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）16.

Neither my parents were.B. Neither were my parents.B. Nor did my parents. D. Nor my parents were18.

John regretted B to the meeting last week.A. not goingB. not to goC. not having been goingD. not to be going第四部分：完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Many of the world’s pollution problems have been caused by the crowding of large groups of people into cities. Satisfying the 21 of the people leads to further polluting by industry. If the rapid increase in human population 22 at the present rate (比率), there may be much greater harm. Some scientists speak of the 23 in number of people as “Population Pollution”.About 2000 years ago, the world 24 was probably about 250 million. It reached a billion in 1850. By 1930 the population was two billion. It is 25 three and a half billion. It is expected to double by the year 2000. If the population continues to grow at the same 26 , there would be 25 billion people in the world a hundred years from now.Man has been using the earth’s 27 more and more rapidly over the years. Some of them are almost gone. Now many people believe that man’s greatest 28 is how to control the growth of this population. The materials in the world will not support the human population in time to come if the present rate of increase continues. 29 there is over crowding in the cities and hunger in some countries. Can man’s rate of increa se continue?Many people believe that human survival (幸存者) in the future 30 on the answer to the question.A 21. A. needs B. supplies C. service D. supportsB 22.
